I have a pound of accurate 2520 and am wondering if anyone has some load data for .308win. I have CCI large rifle and win. large rifle primers. I have a few different .30cal bullets to pick from. I will be using lake city brass too. My rifle is a savage 10fp le with a 20in barrel. The longest shooting I will be doing around here is 600yrds but a majority will be 100yrd paper punching. Any info would be great!

Oh ok I didn't know if you had used it personally or just knew of it.
I had originally got the powder to try in my PTR-91(hk 91 clone)but never got around to testing it. I figure I will give it a try in the savage 10fp I picked up last week.

I use 2520 primarily for my 308 (168gr and 175gr SMK) and 6.5 Grendel loads. I find that the powder performs very well. Some people claim it is too temp sensitive, and while I have not chronoed at 20º and 90º to check, accuracy has been consistent whenever I have shot, shooting out to 500 yards. I will say also, nothing works near as well in my 6.5 for 120 to 129 grain bullets.
